#191: Hackage should check for common QA problems in ghc-options ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.2.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.8.1 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) => easy (<4 hours) Comment: And another... Ticket #271 has a .cabal file with some nice examples. Not only does it use `-O2` with little reason (probably) and `-optl-Wl,-s`, but it also uses `ghc-options: -lcrypt`. Grrr. * `-l -L -I` flags in ghc-options or cc-options should give a QA error * `-lfoo` should be `extra-libraries: foo` * `-Lbar` should be `extra-lib-dirs: bar` * `-Ibaz` should be `include-dirs: baz` The other QA bug in the #217 .cabal file is that it puts files in `extra- source-files:` that get included anyway. I'm not sure if this would be an easy QA check, it should be doable as an error in sdist however if it finds that it wants to create a fileset with duplicate source file paths. We can revisit that one perhaps. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/191#comment:10 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
